%X This study aimed to identify damages caused by stink bugs in seeds of physic nut through the tetrazolium test. Seeds were soaked in water for 16 hours. After tegument removal, the albumens were submerged in tetrazolium solution at concentration of 0.5% for 4 hours at 40 ¡À 2 ¡ãC in BOD without light, and evaluated according to the levels of viability and damages by stink bugs. The tetrazolium test was efficient to evaluate the viability of physic nut seeds allowing the interpretation of vigor and damage caused by insects.
